Wide receiver Keith Kirkwood, who caught the critical, 2-yard tocuhdown on fourth and goal to get the Saints within 14-7 of the Eagles in the second quarter of their 20-14 win Sunday, sat out practice Wednesday with a calf injury. Tight end Ben Watson, who caught one pass for 12 yards Sunday, also missed practice with an illness.

Three offensive linemen practiced, but on a limited basis — left guard Andrus Peat (hand), center Max Unger (knee) and right tackle Ryan Ramczyk (shoulder). The Rams reported no injuries.
